I've seen a bunch of "it will unleash socialist doooooooom" quotes regarding the launch of medicare back in the day that match the similar complaints about the ACA. But I hadn't seen the "jfk wanted for treason" flyer that was handed out in Dallas when JFK went to town, nor the full-page ad taken out in a Dallas paper for that day.
